When She Dies

.


Through all these years, all of these stupid fucking years, he had stood by and acted as if nothing bothered him. Everyone in Konoha was afraid of him. Jiji, Iruka-sensei, Teuchi and Ayame, even the team he was assigned on. Outside of the village thought he was a useless idiot, or something to be used.

He was sick and tired of this bullshit.

One person, only one person had ever made him feel normal. She was dead now, he had seen her die before his eyes two days ago. She was what had kept him here all of these sixteen years. Now, he felt broken and enraged for the others letting her die.

He would make them pay.

He knew just where to start.

.0.0.0.

The Anbu never knew what hit them. He simply used fuinjutsu, something she had taught him, on each of their pieces of armor. He knew it took one full week for the entire Anbu forces to do a full rotation so he made the seals attach to the masked members. Because even if they were on leave they had to suit up and report in once a week. The seals would suck out the chakra from whatever they were attached to and anything in a ten meter radius. They were, in a sense, remote activated. All he had to do was focus on the seals and release them.

Next came the civilians and almost everyone else. He just used what she taught him. He poisoned the water reservoir, all lakes and every stream within a twenty-five meter radius of Konoha. It was a slow acting poison, undetectable and couldn't be boiled or cleansed by even Tsunade or Sakura. Her poisons were the best the world had to offer and even more. They would all think that a stomach bug was going around, but they would die in two to three weeks.

He didn't particularly punish the Academy students, she loved children, but he had heard them spouting the shit their parents and grandparents told them about him and her. A few simple seals on all the walls, they would explode when he made the Anbu drain dry.

On the sixth day after she died, he sat in his rundown apartment. He sat with his back to a wall and cried and cried and cried and cried. He slashed his wrists, watched as they healed, and slashed them even deeper.

"SHE IS ASHAMED OF ME" is what he wrote on the wall, using the large puddle of blood he had created. He knew she was, he was doing what she had told him not to, he was killing without discrimination and assassinating a whole village. She told him to never snap like she had done so long ago. She was the reason Uzushio had fallen, she helped until an enemy had undone a seal that kept her sane. After that all of them started fighting her, it became a three way battle with all but her losing.

"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.

You make happy when skies are grey.

Please, don't take my sunshine away."

He could still remember the song she always sang to him.

"Don't worry, I'll free you." he murmured brokenly to his tenant, the fox had never said anything bad about her. "I'll free you before I die. I promise."

.0.0.0.

Extracting Kurama was painful and it made him pass out.

Naruto awoke to her cradling his face gently, looking at him with sad eyes. He had to have been dreaming, she died in front of him while he was mere feet from saving her.

"Oh, Naruto." Morticia whispered quietly, brokenly. "You silly boy, I told you I would be back in a week. Why didn't you listen to me?"

"You died." Naruto said in the same voice, reaching to touch her face. "I miss you."

"I'm here in front of you and you can't even tell." she said softly. She glanced sky ward to see the giant biju staring down at them with deep sadness in his red eyes. "Kurama, thank you for watching him for me. I'm sorry I couldn't get here sooner."

"It's fine. I am sorry I could not prevent this." he gestured to the burning village, a village he swore to protect for her after he had almost destroyed it sixteen years ago.

"It's okay." Morticia said as tears starting to run down her alabaster cheeks. "Just, please, stay with me and him."

Naruto saw the blurring mass of red-orange make a nodding motion. He was losing the feeling in his limbs and the pain in his stomach still felt like fire but was slowly receding. Everything was starting to feel cold, not even the burning heat from Kurama made him feel warm anymore.

"C-can you sing for me?" his throat felt so dry and there were black spots in his vision. In the roaring sounds of fire he heard a gulp and felt a light weight something run through his hair.

"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.

You make happy when skies are grey."

Naruto felt everything slipping away from him, but he could still hear her haunting voice.

"Please, don't take my sunshine away."


Author's Note~

So I have been reading a lot of Dark!Naruto stories lately. This is what happened. I don't know if I should be ashamed or not.

Well, at least I regret nothing.
